The car was trapped in the water and immediately turned off

On May 8th, Zhongshan City ushered in heavy rain that had not been seen for many years. The Zhongshan Meteorological Bureau issued the first red rain warning signal this year. Many car owners are trapped in the rain. According to weather forecasts issued by the Meteorological Observatory, Zhongshan will once again usher in a large-scale rainfall process. Zhongshan Liangshan, a maintenance technician, said that if the vehicle is trapped in the water, the owner should turn off the engine immediately to prevent the rainwater from sucking into the engine from the exhaust pipe, causing secondary damage to the vehicle. If there are conditions, the owner is best to hang the car to neutral, push the car to the higher ground, so that the rear of the car is slightly lower than the front of the car.

Heavy traffic accidents in heavy rain days

According to the supervision of the traffic police squad urban brigade, as of May 8 from 16:30 to 20:30, flooding sites within the urban area include Kanghua Road, Huabai Road, Dongming Road, Huayuan Street, Xingzhong Road, and Bay Road, Hongjiaji, Dongzu Road and so on.

It is understood that the water depth of the most serious sections of flooding is almost one meter, and vehicles are basically unable to pass. Moreover, due to flooding streets and roads with torrential rain and blurred vision, urban driving speed is slower than normal weather, resulting in obstruction of traffic on some road sections. From the time of 16:30 on May 8 to 20:30, within four hours, the city brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment received a total of 153 accidents and traffic jams, which was nearly five times higher than the normal number of times.

Do not ignite after wading

After the vehicle waded, the main trainer should stop trying to light the ignition. Fan Liangyi analyzed that water enters the exhaust pipe and causes poor exhaust. When such a situation causes the engine to stall, do not rush to start the engine. This may cause water to enter the cylinder through the engine's air intake system, resulting in a very large reaction force. The connecting rod and crankshaft have been deformed due to partial stress. If serious, they may even cause failures such as connecting rods, crankshafts, and cracking of cylinders. Restarting the crankshaft will cause damage to the engine.

Hanging Neutral Pushes the Car High

Vehicles are trapped in water, many owners know that they should turn off the fire to prevent rain from the exhaust pipe down into the engine, causing secondary damage to the vehicle. Fan Liangfu told reporters that the rainwater is now acidic, and that various kinds of impurities such as oil on the road surface can cause the vehicle to quickly leave the water surface. This is the best thing. If the owner of the vehicle is in a condition, the owner of the vehicle is best to hang the vehicle to neutral and push the vehicle. In places with higher ground, let the rear of the car be slightly lower than the horizontal position of the front of the car so that the water in the exhaust pipe can flow back out as quickly as possible. This will allow the vehicle's chassis, brake system, and vehicle's exhaust pipe to stay in contact with the water surface for a long time without affecting the components of the car, thus causing hidden dangers in vehicle safety. At the same time, these systems can also be quickly air-dried and can be used in time when the vehicle is driving again.

After a vehicle wading, it may also be extinguished due to a short circuit in the electrical system. Fan Liangchun said that after the vehicle is moved to a safe place and the vehicle is cooled for a period of time, the owner of the vehicle should not rush to start the vehicle. He can dry the inside and outside of the sub-disc and the wires with a dry cloth, especially for vehicles with a certain number of years to prevent the circuit from aging. Leakage, causing damage again, should go to the repair shop to check it.
